Э.Г. Уайт - История спасения - Глава 63. Тысячелетнее царство
текст песни

My attention was again paid to the ground. The wicked is destroyed, their dead bodies lie on the surface. God's anger in seven ulcers poured on the inhabitants of the Earth; Having clasped their teeth in pain, they cursed God. False pastors have become the subject of Jehovah’s special wrath. Although they were still standing on their feet, their eyes were reduced in the eye sockets, the same thing became with languages in the mouth. After the righteous people were admired by the call of God, crowds of wicked turned their anger against each other. It seemed that the blood flooded the whole earth and the dead bodies covered it from the edge to the edge.

The whole earth looked like a lifeless desert. The ruins of cities and villages destroyed by an earthquake, defeated trees torn with the root, stone blocks, thrown out by the sea or broken away from rocks, were piled everywhere; In some places, the bottomless abysses gaped, formed on the site of the open mountains. Thus will be the dwelling of Satan and his evil angels for thousands of years. Here he will be constrained, and he will have to wander around the devastated land, contemplating the fruits of his uprising against the law of God. For a thousand years, he will be able to enjoy the fruits of the curse, the cause of which he himself was.

Limited only by earth's space, he will not be able to penetrate other worlds in order to tempt the unanimous inhabitants and annoy them. Satan’s suffering will be extremely difficult throughout this time. Since the uprising took place in the sky, he constantly tempted and destroyed, but now he had lost his strength and left alone to think about what he had committed, starting from the moment of his indignation against heavenly rule. With trepidation and horror, the devil will expect terrible retaliation when he will have to answer for all the evil he caused and be punished for all the sins to which he seduced people.

I heard the victorious exclamations of the angels and the redeemed God, sounding like ten thousand musical instruments. They rejoiced because Satan would no longer annoy them and tempt them that the inhabitants of other worlds are now spared from his sinister presence from his temptations.

Then the thrones were shown to me, and I saw Jesus and the redeemed saints sitting on them. The righteous ruled as kings and priests of God. Christ, along with them, performs the trial of the dead wicked, comparing their actions with the Book of Laws and the Word of God and determining the punishment of everyone according to what he did, "living in the body." After that, their names are recorded in the death book. Jesus and his redeemed also judge Satan with his evil angels. The punishment awaiting the devil will be much severe than the fate of those whom he seduced. His suffering cannot even be compared with the suffering of his victims. After all the deceived by him will die, he himself will live and suffer for a long time.

After the end of the trial over the dead wicked, after a thousand years, Jesus leaves the city, and the heavenly army follows him. He goes to the ground and descends to the Great Mountain, which, as soon as his legs touched its surface, breaks up into two parts and turns into a huge plain. Then everyone looks up and see a huge beautiful city with twelve foundations and twelve gates - three on each side. Everyone exclaims: "City! The great city! He descends from God from the sky!" He goes to Earth in all his splendor and dazzling glory and falls on a huge valley prepared by Jesus.
